I am tweeting this now so that in the future it will be proof of my lesbian ESP: tessa thompson and janelle monae are dating
my evidence, you ask? glad to oblige
1. tessa was in the yoga music video, released in april 2015 (go to 0:59)
2. two months later was the last time janelle publicly answered questions about her sexuality (in a roundabout way) http://www.okayplayer.com/news/janelle-monae-sway-in-the-morning-interview-sexuality.html
3. tessa (whose career took off later that year because of creed) has never talked publicly about her sexuality or relationships
4. HOWEVER, she did say this following to buzzfeed in july 2016 ( https://www.buzzfeed.com/anitabadejo/tessa-thompson-seizes-the-moment?utm_term=.jszRmw2d8#.hhO5QEn0D)
5. anyway, back to their relationship. in december 2015, they went on vacation to mexico together http://theybf.com/2015/12/04/vacationgoals-janelle-monae-creed-star-tessa-thompson-took-a-trip-together-to-mexico
6. in 2015, tessa starred in creed and janelle started wondaland. december is a great time to celebrate love & professional success
7. in november 2015, tessa presented janelle with the LGBT CENTER EQUALITY AWARD?!?!?!!!!!!!?!!#)$!*(#) https://www.instagram.com/p/91WWepqDD5
8. (the theory takes a bit of a break during 2016 because i think they either went underground or broke up)
9. in february 2017 they came BACK WITH A VENGEANCE, starting with this picture
10. in the last few months they've been spending a lot of time together (side theory: janelle only has one jacket)
11. this has coincided with a rise in tessa being coy about her sexuality (see my previous tweet about this issue) https://twitter.com/hayejunt/status/906647368451358720
12. tessa will be appearing on portlandia this season - a noted career move for women who are starting to date women https://jezebel.com/based-on-slightly-more-than-nothing-it-appears-abbi-ja-1787496471
13. they are two of my top five biggest celebrity crushes and if prayer works, this will be true
i've been following this story for two years. i'm choosing to break it now because i believe they are approaching going public
this is where this aligns with my theory that tessa and gina rodriguez are playing a couple in annihilation (coming out feb 2018)
when annihilation comes out and tessa is revealed to be playing a lesbian, it will be perfect timing for her to come out
AND janelle has new music coming sometime late 2017 or early 2018. IT ALL LINES UP
i will continue to update this thread with any more evidence that i discover. thanks for your time
THIS REMINDS ME OF MORE EVIDENCE! THANK YOU MARIANA https://twitter.com/Mariana_Bee/status/917179007631872000
last night janessa (what do we think of this?) was at the lemon pepper kickback, a party thrown by issa rae and yvonne orji for
black celebrities currently working in atlanta. 1ST OF ALL: janelle lives there because it's where wondaland is. tessa is in atl because...
WHO KNOWS! that's right folks, tessa is not working on a project in atlanta. the only reason for her to be there is if someone she loves is!
2ND OF ALL: last night tessa posted exactly one insta story. there were all kinds of celebs there - issa, donald glover, SAMUEL L. JACKSON
and yet the ONLY insta story tessa posted was of janelle dancing. alone in a crowded room, as they say
i just remembered that they went to an awards show together in 2015 but i can't remember which one. huge if true
while i investigate this further, here they are at the emmys together this year
ok so it was not an awards show, it was the 2015 MOCA gala, but they a. went as dates and b. wore COMPLIMENTARY OUTFITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HUGE JANESSA NEWS
on thursday janelle posted an instagram of a conversation between her and “the love of [her] life” and referred to them as her “partner”
i forgot to tweet about it on thursday and i just tried to go back to the picture and it is G O N E
luckily i have this screenshot from thursday night (with time stamp) that shows that when i looked at it on thursday tessa hadn’t seen it
i’m not saying tessa saw it while i was away from my phone yesterday and made her delete it before i could screenshot & tweet about it but
MAJOR UPDATE, AS PROMISED: tonight i received this screenshot from a verified source who wishes to remain anonymous
yes she says friend BUT there are four important things to note about this email:
1. she says she listened to the album with "friends" PLURAL but then only mentions tessa
2. they listened to an entire album together? i've never done that with someone who was just a friend
3. thompson autocapitalizes in her phone but tessa doesn't, which means that she talks about tessa a lot without using her last name
4. this one is tenuous but the phrasing "we are in love" is very specific. why not "we loved it?" ALSO THEY ARE A "WE"
thank you to the brave soul who brought this to my inbox. this is my watergate
earlier today i posted an update that turned out to be fake news!!! the post i am not. the person who sent me it asked that i take it down so i have. HOWEVER LOOK AT THE HAND PLACEMENT IN THIS INSTAGRAM PHOTO!!! YOU CAN’T FAKE THAT!!!
she's literally not even trying to be subtle anymore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! help me

hey I know everyone is asleep but uh I need someone to murder me
I WAS GOING TO CUT THIS VIDEO DOWN BUT IT’S THE GAYEST TWO MINUTES OF CONTENT I’VE EVER SEEN
I AM OFFFICIALLY LOSING MY MIND
something happened this weekend and I don’t know what it is leading to but I want to thank everyone in the #janessaarmy who brought it to my attention
GOD IS REAL
I'LL GIF EVERY MOMENT OF THIS DAMN VIDEO JUST TRY TO STOP ME
#JANESSAIS SO REAL I'M SO ALIVE THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE
me showing people this thread
TELL ME TO BREATHE
i literally cannot believe that i am still updating this thread, nor can i believe that this question was asked, but ask and ye shall receive: my analysis of this video http://www.etonline.com/tessa-thompson-reacts-to-being-shipped-with-janelle-monae-after-the-make-me-feel-music-video-96993
first of all, tessa pretending she doesn't know what "shipping" means is a clear attempt to divert the conversation. courtney tezeno is CLEARLY one of us, as she refuses to drop the line of questioning. keep fighting the good fight, courtney
let's talk about "we've been really good friends at this point for about three and a half years." let's say the audition they met at was 3.5 years ago – loosely september 2014? a couple months of trying to make schedules work (remember they were both very busy at this time)...
... could put their anniversary in late november or early december. does that seem fair? what about when you consider that their MEXICAN VACATION WAS IN LATE NOVEMBER/EARLY DECEMBER 2015, ONE YEAR LATER?!?!?!?!?!?! THE PIECES ALL FALL INTO PLACE http://theybf.com/2015/12/04/vacationgoals-janelle-monae-creed-star-tessa-thompson-took-a-trip-together-to-mexico
also "i think" as though she doesn't know exactly how long, but then she doesn't even HESITATE before "about three and a half years!" also who's that specific about lengths of friendships, especially after allegedly having to think about it!?!
speaking of syntax, the stumbling over her words before she gets to "really good friends" ... i don't even have anything to say that isn't right there in the clip
also may i note that tessa is the one who brings up that it's a bisexual anthem, NOT courtney?! SHE WANTS US TO KNOW
LAST THING I WILL SAY BEFORE PUTTING MY CAT TO BED: her smile at the end when courtney says "i think you succeeded" is not the smile of someone thinking about a nice video she made with her friend. this is the smile of a woman sending the gays a message. GOODNIGHT
lol
a lot of people have asked why I stopped this thread and frankly it was because I was getting a lot of hate on the internet for other reasons and didn’t want to bring this into that. BUT I CAN NO LONGER BE SILENT
I honestly have typed and deleted so many things but I just have nothing to say https://twitter.com/vulture/status/1012708049063116801?s=21
